Most people having problems used the CWM update from the kitchen. I used odin to flash it and haven't had one problem. Rooted it fine. Smoothest rom I've ever used. Still in the process of recalibrating battery so can't comment on that yet. Had to use odin to flash old JL2 modem, them jpd, then Jkv to activate 850 band on jkv (for some carriers this is the only way to get 850 on certain modems). Asphalt 6 plays smoother too.

Backlight for menu and back keys are always on when screen is on.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] SKeijmel:
its all running fine here!

too bad they removed the auto gain from jv1 so the sounds gets distorted again when u record high volume obbjects when recording video
[Galaxy S I9000 General] scottishlad80:
I think its great, alot snappier. One question though, when I go to do a factory reset using the 3 button mode I get asked for a password now, never been asked for this before. Is there a default password?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] colindodds:
Well i have read all posts and i used odun 1.8 with 512 pit repartition and dalvik clear and sd clear before and after ive got need for speed gt and few ither including desert storm all perfect i get quadrent 950ish about same as froyo but much faster also when switching on go strait in to applications now get fades sd card folders till media scan ends also instaling apk files now get icon so few little differences ive found again noticably faster still little ram hungry though but most satisfied with jvk

I've installed this ROM (2.3.3 - JVK) today using Odin 1.82. I used the firmware without the bootloader and installed it just like any other ROM's: the only TICKED options were Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time. I've put the PDA, CSC and PHONE files in their places and hit the Start button. It all worked fined.

Everything seems to work perfect: Market, Gmail etc. and I haven't had any problems so far. It seems to be faster than the latest 2.2.1 firmware (JS8). I've used Keys to import my contacts and all worked fine. The GPS works FINE :D Finally !!! :D The battery life seems ok so far. The only minus is that it doesn't have the Romanian SWYPE language installed :(

I'll keep you up to date if I found out anything new.

Cheers !!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] alelas:
BTW, have anybody tried going around with GPS in the car? How's navigation experience? I noticed there are definitely improvements with GPS as it's was locked within 10 seconds in stock without any assisted data. Never seen anything like that with any stock ROM before. It seems they have made some changes really as	I could not find the usual jupiter.xml file in system/etc. Anybody can share some tracks?

I installed the stock version not had any fc s yet wifi is better and faster

It works grate.. however waking up from sleep can be a little laggy at times...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] android53:
Slow wake up from sleep

Swiping notification bar only goes from 0-50% brightness

Other than that it's great
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Intratech:
Flashed the version with bootloaders and R00ted it. Didn't do a restore of the apps with Titanium Backup, I manually installed them from the market and just did data restore for a few.

I've removed swype and installed the Gingerbread keyboard. The included version of Swype was annoying.

No tearing issue on boot up.

WiFi works great, connects to my router without any issue from anywhere in my house and in the garden as well.

Browser has a weird way of abruptly stopping if you do a fast scroll nut works just fine otherwise.

My GPS has always worked fine so I just checked to make sure I still got a lock. I did.

No FC yet.

Can't comment on battery life, I'm now giving the phone a full charge after draining the battery.

The capacitive buttons seem to be on anytime the screen is on. This looks like a bug, maybe on that helps to drain battery.

I like the smoothness of this update. The UI is snappy and very responsive. If this is a BETA then I can imagine people will jizz in their pants when the final version is released. fwap fwap fwap!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] jj03:
I was in the thread when it went live yesterday..flashed it via odin. Csc,phone,pda files, no pit partition. This was coming from jpu. worked fine. Extremely smooth and very responsive. Everything working as it should. Excellent.

my i9000..running gingerbread. perfectly. :-)

Anyone installed this on I9000m yet ? Please post a review.. Also make sure to mention if you installed bootloader or not. Thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dan@msx:
Well finally got round to flashing this just before work. 1st impressions are good, snappy, seems pretty solid build....

installed via Odin 1.7 - 512 pit and re-partition ticked.

allowed to boot then installed Curios's Voodoo tweaks but disabled the lagfix so still stock just with tweaks.

got a 12 hour shift ahead of me, so i got plenty of play time! will update as i find issues (if any)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] alexx910:
in my opinion and with my experience the new stock rom is awesome:

-3d games works better then on the custom roms

- everything runs pretty smooth and works like charm :)

- the only thing I miss is a theme that looks just like android 2.3.3 on nexus s. Thats my only desire ( which also includes the tv-off-animation what looks amazing :)

Just tried to install that, but didnt work -.- wtf? had to reflash my phone, but my stuff got kept on the phone :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] bmadalin:
Overall very good response, no lag. The exception is the gallery wich lags like hell.(maybe we can do something about that, diferent gallery apk, or something)

I'm also very impressed with the browser, especially the smooth scrolling with flash on the page(although the flash content/video gets ditorted sometimes during scroll) . Also that my Sgs can now play 720p flash vidoes on a web page perfect :).

Did also notice weaker wi-fi, better battery life.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] luci.pacurar:
What doesn't work? (some people mentioned accelerometers, animations)

Some 3D games crash. Air Attack HD and Dungeon Defenders tested so far.

How did you install it? (give simple explanation, method you used, with or without bootloaders, etc)

Odin, 512pit, repartition, I didn't have the update bootloaders box checked but Odin still updated SBL.bin

Are there any problems so far? (beside if something is not working, FC-s, app incompability, etc)

Wireless signal is worse. Some lagging here and there.

General performances? (how fast is the rom, compare it with ROM you used before)

Seems smoother than JS2.

GPS? (no explanation necessary...)

GPS lock is fast.

Battery life? (ompare it with ROM you used before, what is the magnitude of battery drain?

Not tested thoroughly yet. It seems better than JS2.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] behemot24:
wmv not supported anymore, though it worked in the latest 2.2.1 firmwares. and subtitles dont work anymore with video built-in player :(((
[Galaxy S I9000 General] boxst:
I flashed it with Odin 1.8 (had some problems that a different USB sorted out)

Everything seems great, slightly faster.

Although I thought there was a SIP client?

[Galaxy S I9000 General] Farkonian:
In a word: Meh.

Previous ROM: RomKitchen XWJS8 v9.9.5 w/SpeedMod K13D 500HZ BigMem.

Problems noticed so far: Launcher Pro 3D app drawer glitches.

Performance compared to previous: I can't tell any significant difference.

It was fun to check out, but I think I will go back to my old ROM.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] savegame:
Have the same issue and it's terribly annoying. I think the bug turned up not from the very beginning but since I swapped the framework-res app to the one with the screen turnoff animation.

Any solutions?

Swyped from my SGS w/ Speedmod
[Galaxy S I9000 General] alelas:
Just wait for a correct root is a good solution. It's simply because you used root for JV1, haven't you? I think I didn't have any backlight problem before rooting...

I have it also the burning touch keys, but stock rom, unrooted.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] droidgt:
Have been using this for more than a day and noticed just 2 issues.

- already mentioned, touch keys light up as long as screen is on.

- music player starts automatically when the head phone is plugged in.

Other than these, the rom is nice.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] android53:
Battery life is amazing, a whole day of use and still 60% left

It's like that on the Nexus S as well
[Galaxy S I9000 General] FRLinux:
Flashed with odin 1.3 512.pit and firmware on 3 files.

Excellent rom. Nothing broken so far but gps (which i fixed going in the engineering menu http://www.frlinux.eu/2010/11/android-22-for-samsung-galaxy-s-gps-fix.html)

Amazing battery life. Staying on this rom until better comes out but thanks Samsung :-)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] omeryounos:
extremely smooth....better performance in 3d games....better battery ....faster gps lock.....on drawback same quadrant score (coz this doesn't emulate real world performance).... better than any stock froyo....
[Galaxy S I9000 General] omeryounos:
Its not a bug.....its a new feature of this rom by Samsung....:)

here u go.............
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Intratech:
Installed some 3D games and they all work, NFS Shift, Dungeon Hunter, Hero of Sparta, Asphalt 5 and Krazy Kart. Web browsing on the stock browser has been crazy fast.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] danieldcd:
so far so good. I've been looking forward to the new copy/paste which works well. Everything runs fast.

I have found though, that the wifi seems to be weaker. I'll have to test it more to verify. Since I am just basing it off of how many wifi signal bars I have, it may just be that the metrics to calculate how many bars of strength you have is not the same? Just a thought, but I'll be looking to see if there are any actual decreases in wifi performance.

Email counter in the dopdown menu keeps counting up, does not refresh after email is read. And peak times seem not to switch propperly. Using exchange with stock client and stock unrooted rom.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] rdy2go:
Battery life is amazing - approximately 1% / 3 minutes of screen on with HSDPA or WIFI (amazing!!!), 1% / hour in standby mode with gmail and exchange push

LAG appeared after >20h of use, it seems memory manager is set to be very aggresive, coming back from browser to launcher and back causes restarting both browser and launcher.

It looks like "memory low" condition or possible memory leak in OS or one of the apps/services running in the background...

Fuzzy Static

http(COLON)//i53(DOT)tinypic(DOTCOM)/2zyzkma(DOT)jpg

(Had to post it this way since I am officially still a "newbie" poster.)

Nobody else has mentioned this, so... every time I boot up, or change a system-wide-defining setting, this little "static" screen pops up for a couple of seconds. I've got 2.3.3 installed without updating the bootloader, fyi.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] alsheron:
I'm particularly interested in the driving performance of the gps and it's a bit useless for people to keep reporting quick gps fixes when tracking accuracy is also important for drivers etc. surely anyone can get decent gps fixes?

God performance has definitely improved but despite that I also did the hardware hack and bent the gps connector up, when driving... it keeps losing my position making the gps function virtually useless...My old Htc Hero used at the same time tracks perfectly so as we all know gps in the galaxy s is genuinely crap but probably ok for most who don't use navigation.

Other than gps, this rom is fastest yet by a long margin. Very smooth.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] [Ramad]:
Flash the version that includes bootloaders.

After the device has been updated to the new bootloaders it will work with any firmware, and you don't have to flash the firmware with bootloaders again, it's why there is 2 versions, because bootloaders flash can be risky, the package that does not include bootloaders is for those that have already flashed a full XWJV1 or a full XXJVK.

I hope that this clears things up.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Einride:
This happened with JV1 as well, so I'm guessing it's still an "issue" with JVK. The secondary bootloader (Sbl.bin) needs to be updated when you update to GB.

Can't really blame Samsung for this one :)

Edit: What Ramad said :P
[Galaxy S I9000 General] vcespon:
What doesn't work? (some people mentioned accelerometers, animations)

Everything working fine here. I've loaded all the programs I've been using for months and all work fine.

Browser works and now has the scroll progress bar on right

Google maps working, rotation is done with two fingers now

The new Opera Mobile 11 works very well now

3D gaming tested with Asphalt 5 and Guerrilla Bob, very fast

Market works, I can download all the apps I have purchased

HSDPA working very fast, 3 mbps at least here

Video playback fine, tested with Divx and MP4 (720p) files

How did you install it? (give simple explanation, method you used, with or without bootloaders, etc)

512 pit + repartition + all 3 files + clear all data at the end

Are there any problems so far? (beside if something is not working, FC-s, app incompability, etc)

WiFi and 3G signal seems lower. I used to have more signal bars at home. As other people say probably radio output was lowered to save battery.

Only one thing had me worried, FM radio was not showing the names of the stations, turns out it's an option now and it's off by default.

General performances? (how fast is the rom, compare it with ROM you used before)

Pretty fast, althoug JS8 was fast enough for me.

GPS? (no explanation necessary...)

Works fine now, I tested it on JV1 and now on JVK. First fix is fast, position 50 meters off but it jumps to correct position after a few seconds, turns faster than other ROMs, (does not show the problem SGS has had for months of showing you moving along a street several seconds after you have turned left or right)

Battery life? (compare it with ROM you used before, what is the magnitude of battery drain?

Too soon to give an opinion, I'm having very fast drain now, but I need to do more tests. I like the new battery usage page, it gives real figures and the battery charge graph.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] cedricberger:
What doesn't work :

-Google Maps does not consider the phone as full multitouch -> works like on Nexus one (rotation with 2 fingers). Do not know if it is firmware or gmaps' fault.

How did you install it

Had JPY, pit512, flashed PDA+Modem (no repartition), and CSC JPFXEF (french).

Then Firmware Reset (already installed apps chrashed before reset). Market did not automatically reinstalled apps, neither did any settings (wifi passwords,...) were restored.

Then rooted with "fuguroot".

Are there any problems so far

- touch buttons backlight always on (at least now, after I rooted. I cannot remember if it did just before)

General performances?

Faster, but probably mainly because of the reset... hard to tell

GPS

Maybe minor improvment, but mostly same as before :-(

Battery life

Only time can tell

[update] cannot quantify, but it is better than I had before with jpy.

And the battery usage report and graph is really great !
[Galaxy S I9000 General] skibbi_pl:
What doesn't work? (some people mentioned accelerometers, animations)

I can't select mode when connecting USB cable anymore. I have to select in options default mode. It's not a big deal, but I prefer to have options when I want to connect temporary with Kies.

How did you install it? (give simple explanation, method you used, with or without bootloaders, etc)

Flashed with odin 1.7 stock rom with SBL. No repartition, no PIT. After reboot phone had trouble creating dbdata partition, but wipe/factory reset solved it.

Are there any problems so far? (beside if something is not working, FC-s, app incompability, etc)

Lower wifi signal strength, but it's not a problem for me. I can connect to wifi AP's as before. I don't care if I have 1 bar less on the indicator.

General performances? (how fast is the rom, compare it with ROM you used before)

It's smooth and fast, but I used speedmod kernels with Froyo so I'm not shocked by the performance.

GPS? (no explanation necessary...)

As good as with latest radio from JS8 ROM.

Battery life? (ompare it with ROM you used before, what is the magnitude of battery drain?

2-3% drop during night, with 30 min sound session in Lighting Bug.

Anything else.

Probably there is a field for improvement in different areas, but currently I'm 100% satified with my phone.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] capactus:
How did you install it? (give simple explanation, method you used, with or without bootloaders, etc)

Factory reset + cleared all cache except battery, Odin, 512 pit + repartition + all 3 files.

Are there any problems so far?

3d performence en overal smoothness seems less for me. Odd, because you all report differently :) When I ran Quadrant Pro version all textures on the 3d test seem lost. Also the framerate was way lower.

Maybe a bad flash, I'll try to reflash. Maybe it's launcherPro related.

I really like the fact that I can use all default Samsung Widgets when using LauncherPro. This is a new feature I guess.

The use of capital letters seems to be a bit off. When ending a sentence a capital letter should appear. This doesn't always seem the case. When typing messeges all is fine, but it fails when using the default browser.

Overal a great update. Seems very solid.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] edskal:
What doesn't work? Auto rotation - accelerometer. It was working fine, but it just stopped - out of the blue. Gallery. very slow but no memory leak.

How did you install it? All three files, 512 pit, re-partition ON. Had to use SBL.

Are there any problems so far? Overall, build is better than JV1

General performances? ROM is still fast with 150 apps on. Fresh Install. JV1 has better battery life.

GPS?cant tell difference between JV1 and JVK

Battery life? average.

Pff, who cares about cosmetic details like:

- Power off animation

- battery icon is now green

- change of gesture to rotate on Google maps

- Lock screen

- Notification bar being dark gray or black

The operating system below the user interface has had many changes. People, please do not repeat the comments we had to hear when general public moved from Windows 98 to XP. Besides cosmetic changes, a lot of things were changed below the surface.

Windows XP SP2 was a complete rewrite of the source code, and had no visual changes. There's a lot happening inside the OS and I need a phone in which GPS works, does NOT hang after a call, and I can run most programs without a force close. I appreciate stability and compatibility more than the shape of an icon.

Flash player is a lot better, now I can watch HD videos on youtube and other sites full screen with no lag, just DONT upgrade the flash player to the latest 10.2 on the market, it messes it up

Flashed using odin 1.8.2, repartition, 3 files with bootloader

very happy :D:D:D
